Your boss enjoys the money you make for him with so little fuss.

I'm glad I can help make him money. No fuss and some pride. It makes my position more solid.

> It makes my position more solid

This is increasingly less true though.

People are seeing that they can produce high value for years and never get rewarded, and eventually get laid off when cuts need to happen.

At that point, why try?

[Gud]

If they are providing high value but not reaping high rewards, introspection is warranted.

Then the near-entirety of the American (and global, while we're at it) workforce has quite a bit of introspection to do.

[bluefirebrand]

Yeah this was pretty much what I was getting at too.

[ipaddr]

Reward is company staying afloat and I keep getting paid. If company is growing I get managing opportunities.

Ever work at a failing company? That's a worse tradeoff.

[Thorrez]

Is that a bad thing? Should I attempt to make my boss unhappy?
